Came back to Tacos El Franc to see if they got their food dialed in, and I'm happy to say they did. I ordered an adobada vampiro and it did not disappoint. I'll definitely be coming back. And to answer the existential question everyone asks: Is it better than Tacos El Gordo? For me, the answer is yes. You can debate the adobada, but when it comes to the rest of the meats, it's not even close. The carne asada here is actually seasoned, and the price point between the two spots is pretty much the same.

They serve up some really good pork tacos that were juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The only thing missing were chips and guac to round out the meal. Can probably skip the brisket though. Still, definitely worth a stop if you're craving great street-style tacos.

This place is very tasty, spicy flavorful salsas and seems to me authentic... They make their own tostadas can't go wrong there ...I like this place will definitely come again soon.

Cute little place, with a nice indoor/outdoor feel. The service was fast and the food was pretty good. We were in and out very quickly, and noticed they were very good at keeping the place clean despite the turnover!

Great spot in gas lamp! Came during lunch hour on a weekday and despite the line it the door, service was quick and efficient. Tacos were so flavorful, we got the marinated pork & beef brisket. Pork taco is definitely the top fave. Corn tortillas made fresh. 10/10 choice for authentic tacos. Also tried the quesa which was also delicious. The cheese was so tasty! Indoor and outdoor seating available w good ambiance. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the mood for authentic tacos!

Tacos El Franc has been on the list. San Diego is so lucky, there's Oscar's, Tacos El Gordo, I mean the list just goes on. I really wanted to try the Michelin-rated Tacos El Franc. My friend and I stopped here right after I got off the plane. I went with the suadero, lengua and cabeza (ya girl was ready to EAT). I was a bit confused because maybe my street tacos got mixed up with my friends' but the cabeza and lengua tasted the exact same. I think they might have given me two cabeza's as lengua is usually more tender. The s... read more

Brand new establishment on fifth Avenue. They also have locations in Northpark and Tijuana. Excellent food they need to get a beer license. Highly recommended.

The Adobada is a must try! The restaurant is small but very clean and organized service. They were busy but not as busy as tacos el Gordo down the street. The order came out in literal minutes. We ordered lengua and Adobada tacos, both were delicious! Warm, fresh guacamole, and served with all the fixings. Definitely happy to find a taco that tasted authentic from Mexico without having to cross the border. I would definitely go back and try more on the menu!

Yummy, yummy! I love that they offer veggie tacos such a nice touch. I'm so glad they're expanding, because now I can get my TJ taco fix close to home. The flavors are on point, and they even have fries! Service was great , the staff was quick and friendly. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, but it filled up soon after. Being in the Gaslamp, it definitely attracts a fun, party crowd, which I actually enjoyed. Can't wait to come back . I really hope they continue to thrive!
